Do all these estimates including what doctors make a year include HOW MUCH they get back in income tax every year OR is all this AFTER they include all their BUSINESS TAX WRITE OFFS? Have we all forgotten that there is an income tax act in which businesses get to deduct almost all of their expenses in doing business in this country so are all these quotes including what they write off or get back each year?

It clearly states “after taxes”, which anybody who is not a conspiracy theorist would understand means “after paying the taxes on all non-tax deductible income”. Business don’t magically make more money than they make due to tax write-offs. Those don’t generate free money. They simply make it possible to run a business. Without tax write-offs the profits wouldn’t cover the expenses and taxes.

However, if they only net around $176,000 after interest and taxes from the original gross amount of $1.5 million dollars…that would leave me with the question….how much do they pay in franchisee fees??? that is an astronomical drop !!! 😐

I have read up on the Tim Hortons franchise opportunity. I feel they do not post it because it can very quite alot from location to location. If you go to Tim Hortons website they have posted their annual reports. This is public information because it is a publicly traded company.

Thanks for this start-up information. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. On the side note, though, unless you’re the sole owner of a Tim Hortons franchise, the revenue is split among your partners through parternship business format.
